soon.

Zhu Houzhao agreed to arrive this day.

The group did not go out and directly prepared to test the open space in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Many places in the palace have large open spaces and are not tall in the roofs.

It takes a lot of time to run from the hall to the other side even in the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Today, God is also beautiful.

After noon, the wind gradually became weaker.

There are no officials walking around in the palace now.

Zhu Houzhao stood aside in person and directed with anticipation.

Zhao Ce was invited by him from the Hanlin Academy, and he asked nervously: "It shouldn't be a failure, right?"

This hot air balloon was made with such simple conditions when Zhao Ce was in Mengcheng, and it was still useful.

Now that after such a long time of research, there should be great improvements in production and stability.

Zhu Houzhao was the one who did this as the leader.

He was worried now that this thing that took so much effort would not fly up.

Zhao Ce comforted and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

"The principle of this thing is actually not complicated."

"As long as there is enough heat, there is basically no problem."

Zhu Houzhao clenched her fists and cheered herself up.

"Yes, there's definitely no problem!"

"We release hot air balloons in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, and I don't know if our father can see it in the Palace of Qianqing."

Today, he obviously invited his father to come and see him, but his father has not appeared yet.

I guess I was temporarily stuck by some political affairs.

Just as I was thinking, the people there were ready.

The brightly colored sphere has not been stretched out yet.

There is a bamboo basket carrying manned tightly below. You can imagine how huge the sphere will be when it is stretched open.

Zhao Ce looked at the pattern on it and asked curiously: "What did your highness draw on it?"

Zhu Houzhao said mysteriously: "You will know later."

As he said that, he came over proudly and asked people to start charging the hot air balloon.

What they used this time was still high concentrations of alcohol as fuel.

Compared with the fuels such as straw rods and carrion used by humans when they first tested hot air balloons, the fuels used by Zhao Ce and others were obviously much more advanced.

Zhao Ce also found that there seemed to be a thin layer of paint on the hot air balloon.

Zhu Houzhao introduced that because he was worried that the hot air balloon would catch fire, he asked someone to apply a layer of fireproof paint on it.

But he didn't know if this would affect the takeoff.

Hot air balloon charging is a constant process.

Zhu Houzhao had already left the little nervousness just behind at this time, and patiently watched from the bottom of the head.

After the airbag was filled with air, it slowly bulged up.

The two sat in, and many people remained pressed against the bamboo basket.

The huge sphere is slowly expanding and spreading upwards.

The pattern on it is slowly opened.

Zhao Ce looked at the pattern on the sphere in surprise, and felt a little aphasia for a moment.

"This is a dragon..."

Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "My lord, the hot air balloon I put on is naturally a dragon."

A lifelike golden dragon on the sphere was majestic and spreading its teeth and claws as the sphere was stretched out.

The painter Zhu Houzhao found was naturally of high-quality painting skills.

Zhao Ce couldn't help but praise: "So majestic!"

Others were amazed at this.

Zhu Houzhao proudly raised her chest and accepted their praise.

The dragon represents the emperor.

Isn’t it just to praise this dragon and his father?

If the father is not here, isn’t he just praising him as the prince of the Ming Dynasty?

This praise was so peaceful that he received!

The airbag is already full of air at this time and is about to be released.

Zhu Houzhao looked around and didn't see his father appear yet.

But the gas inside doesn't wait for anyone.

Zhu Houzhao could only wave helplessly and let them start to let go.

The two attendants from the East Palace sitting in the bamboo basket were all excited.

With Zhu Houzhao's order, the hot air balloon began to slowly rise into the air.

After reaching a certain height, it stabilized.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the giant dragon rising into the sky in surprise.

"Really, it can really fly!"

"Your Highness is so awesome!"

The hot air balloon was successfully released, and Zhu Houzhao said with regret: "If I had known this success, I would have sat on it and tried it myself."

He had long wanted to take a ride in person.

But after Liu Jin and the others heard about it, they hugged his feet and cried, telling him not to take risks.

He said that after the test was a few more times, it would be not too late for him to go and take the ride again after confirming that it was safe.

Zhu Houzhao temporarily gave up this idea and waited for the test flight patiently.

......

Zhu Houzhao's test flight was very successful.

However, Emperor Hongzhi was a little upset at this time.

His son invited him to watch the hot air balloon test flight today, but he walked out of the door of the Qianqing Palace and heard that Franji's envoy asked for a visit.

The Franji man bribed many officials and asked them to help me report that he wanted to maintain the qualifications of trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi suppressed their memorials because they had attacked his own place before.

Now the messenger of the Franchise finally couldn't hold back.bΙＱμＧètν.còＭ

He wanted to say goodbye to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that he was about to leave.

As soon as we arrived outside to wait for the audience, we saw Emperor Hongzhi's guard of honor coming nearby.

The Franchise messenger shouted happily at his companion next to him.

The person who acted as a translator was on the side, and quickly stepped forward to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Hongzhi's imperial guard did not stop. The nearby servant next to him walked over and said directly:

"Your Majesty has something to do today, so it is not convenient to receive foreign envoys."

"Please go back first."

The translator said the words to the Franji man next to him with a embarrassed expression.

After hearing this, these Franji people were a little angry.

They were talking in their own language.

"The Ming Dynasty asked us to help fight pirates, and we have done it."

"Now I promised us to pay tribute, but I have not received our people for a long time."

"Is this Emperor of the Ming Dynasty going to break his promise?"

While the few people were muttering, they saw Emperor Hongzhi's imperial guards suddenly stopped.

Several people were delighted and thought things had turned around.
